Which clutch would you suggest to support the mods listed in my signature. I want something streetable, but able to hold up to the abuse of an occaisonal track visit. On another note, would the clutch that is in the ss/tc work in the ss/sc?

bump

 

exedy hyper single or centerforce dfx

 

spec stage 3+

 

Yes but you need some diff. parts, like an 08 throw out bearing. When testing is done GM is looking to produce an upgraded clutch for the f35 tranny. It is going to be marketed for the sstc but will be available for the sssc.

 

I just got a jumpy...gm plans to make an uprgraded clutch that will also fit the ss/sc??!!

 

just get an exedy

 

Well they made it. It''s being tested. I would imagine weather it passes the test or not will determine weather or not they sell it soon or take more time developing it. I'll let you guys know if it passes my test.

It's probably the best bet if you need it right now.

 

I think I am going to go with the Spec Stage 2+. Anybody else running it?

 

Is the ss/tc clutch stronger?

 

2 buddies of mine have it in their cars, and i have one sitting in my room to go in mine. they are both over Stage 2, and one is stage 3 with nitrous

they both like it

 

I would think so being that the turbo ss has more power from the factory than the SS/SC. I was thinking that if the turbo ss clutch would work in the ss/sc that I would go that route, but I don't think anybody knows for sure and I don't feel like making my tranny the test pig.

 

Exedy! Best feel of any clutch in an SS/SC that I've felt to date!

 

The only one I have seen from them though is the $1200 clutch and flywheel combo. I don't want that. I just want a clutch and pressure plate that can easily handle what i am giving it now and still be as streetable as possible because it is my only car.

 

Turbo tech can get you a deal on a Spec Stage 2+...thats who i went thru...

 

Well when you replace your clutch don't forget about the flywheel. You're going to at least need to get it resurfaced. However just like brake rotors they have specs that they need to meet so you may end up needing to get a flywheel anyway.

 

All Ecotec is running a special on Exedy Hyper Singles. This is the best clutch by far, especially for the mods you have. Here is the link https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/supporting-vendor-deals-group-purchases-133/%2A%2Aexedy%2A%2A-exedy-%2A%2Aexedy%2A%2A-exedy-%2A%2Aexedy%2A%2A-exedy-%2A%2Aexedy%2A%2A-exedy-%2A%2Aexedy%2A%2A-exedy-exedy-117523/. I installed one in my son's SS/SC last weekend.

 

^^^Can't wait till my clutch goes so I can get one of those!!!!

 

after researching this question myself a few weeks ago,
I settled on the exedy.

 

If I were to go the clutch and flywheel route, I would go with the centerforce DFX. I like the ball bearings on the pressure plate which would make for eassy engagement. I know that the flywheel must be resurfaced, but I would prefer to stay with the stock flywheel and just get a solid clutch. I think the spec stage II is a solid clutch from what I have read.

 

Once you actually hold that stock flywheel in your hand and realize how much heavier it is over a light weight setup you would probably change your mind. But if you plan on only buying the clutch then there are few choices that fit the stock flywheel.

The stock flywheel is not flat past the friction surface!

 

exedy hyper single

 

True, but having a lightweight flywheel makes it harder for the motor to get going due to the lack of inertia. More importantly, once it does get going it revs very quickly and I am not sure that the factory vavle springs can take that.

 

the GM race team didnt seem to think so when they put the exedy hyper single with light flywheel in the time attack cobalt?

 

I do not have a time attack car. I have a daily driver that I want to be as fast, but reliable as possible.
